NOW Supplements, GABA 750mg, Cognitive Support*, 100 Veg Caps

I was very very skeptical, as many others, when ordering this product. As a lifelong sufferer of anxiety and depression (which runs in my family) I've tried everything to curb symptoms from illicit drugs and alcohol to prescription medication - none helped to alleviate the symptoms. I do not believe in miracle pills or cures, so this is not a claim for a miracle pill. I came across some cursory information on GABA while reading "The Anxiety Cure" by Dr. Archibald Hart for a graduate program in counseling which I am currently enrolled in. I highly recommend Dr. Hart's book. Before purchasing I researched and read anything I could I get my hands on pertaining to GABA. I must reiterate, the literature is INCONCLUSIVE with regard to whether GABA crosses the blood-brain barrier most likely because research is limited due to non-backing of natural products by the FDA (which should tell you something right away). Of all the literature I read on GABA, only ONE, yes ONE (1) article briefly mentions "not crossing the blood brain barrier" so take this claim lightly. After reading up on GABA, I decided to go for it. All I can say is that in the 5 weeks since first taking GABA (2 capsules each morning, 1500 mg) I have noticed a remarkable difference. Impulse eating had markedly decreased, I am much more at ease, I can even stand being around myself! This should resonate with fellow sufferers of anxiety and depression as I am sure you know what it is like to not stand being in your own skin. Perfectionist tendencies have greatly diminished. Although racing thoughts still present from time to time, the frequency and duration are much less. I take special note of the decline in impulse eating as this was mentioned in a previous review. I, too, am less hungry and have not had the urge to eat past 8 p.m. and the binge eating is no more, even throughout the day. Ive even lost a few pounds. It's as if my natural cycle has been restored. So as not to be deceptive, I must add that I also read up on l-theanine, an amino acid found in large quantity in green/black tea. L-theanine stimulates GABA production in the brain (this claim is soundly supported by research done on green/black tea). I take the l-theanine sporadically before bed which helps with restful sleep. In addition, I have substantially decreased daily caffeine intake from 6-8 cups of coffee to no more than 2. I often substitute green/black tea for coffee as well. For anyone who is serious about taking GABA or l-theanine, I highly recommend reading up on these, especially l-theanine. Green/black tea does have caffeine, though less, but the presence of l-theanine balances out the caffeine surge and produces an alert calmness. Be sure and follow the directions and take on an empty stomach. There are no side effects except for what can be described as a "tingly" feeling roughly 20-30 minutes after taking (this is actually proof that the supplement is GABA as this too is reported in the literature). It lasts for a few seconds, so don't be too alarmed. It is my contention that these changes in diet along with the presence of GABA/l-theanine supplementation have lead to the reduction of anxiety/depression. I highly recommend this product.

The Background info: I knew I had some sort of anxiety disorder, but never really took much notice of it until I stopped being able to go to class/appointments without making myself sick with nervousness over nothing. My stomach was constantly in knots, I got angry at the drop of a hat, my sex drive was GONE (I am 25, and just got married, that's not normal), I had intensely bad bouts of depression, and if my routine was thrown off, I had trouble functioning through the rest of the day, but I absolutely will not go on any type of prescription medication to treat anxiety, as I am worried about the addiction factor, so I started researching. I looked into a lot of different OTC supplements for stress/mood, etc, but GABA came highly recommended most often. I ordered this bottle. The results: I received this on Feb. 19th, 2014, and started taking it that day. I took it later in the afternoon after I got home, as I wasn't sure if it would make me drowsy. I felt that it did make me a bit drowsy, but nothing extreme, until my husband mentioned that maybe I just felt relaxed because I'm so used to being wound up tightly and tense feeling. He was right. I have not missed a day taking this (1 pill, in the morning, as I don't feel any different if I take more at a time OR more throughout the day), and I know some people have said it doesn't do anything but I legitimately feel it's effects within an hour or so of taking it. If I forget it, and take it later than normal/after I have left home, my stomach will get nervous and queazy again, then as soon as I take it, it fades away. I feel anger, sadness, and nervousness like I imagine a regular person does now; I am able to handle situations that would usually put me on edge with ease. My IBS is all but gone. I cannot say enough good things about this product. One of my friends even tried it, and said she could feel how relaxed it made her, and really liked it. (So far, this has had no effect on my sex drive, unfortunately, but I'm still working on it!) Overall: If you are curious, or trying to find a solution to an anxiety/depression without a prescription med, I think this is what you should try. What could it hurt? PLEASE NOTE: After taking this for a few days, I noticed about 15-20 minutes after consumption, my heart sped up a bit, and my breathing became shallow. Nothing unbearable, it's just a common side effect. I take a ballet class, and can still function just fine while waiting for my heart rate to slow down, and my breathing to return to normal, I just thought I'd throw that in here so now one freaks out like I did thinking something was wrong. I am now also taking: NOW Foods Vitamin D3 5000 Iu (every other day), 240 Softgels, Biotech Nutritions YOHIMBINE HCI 120 CAPS, and NOW Foods Maca 500mg, 250 Capsules along with the GABA.

I purchased this product after trying stronger prescription medications for general anxiety disorder (GAD). My GAD manifest it self via driving anxiety and the fear of large clustered crowds. In any case, I have been looking for a solution to these issues for the past 10 years via therapy and medications. Nothing seemed to help. Needless to say I did not think that Gaba would work either but for only 10 bucks it was worth a shot. In any case, I have been taking this supplement for almost 30 days, and the improvement is remarkable. I do not feel anxious while driving on a regular bases and if I do it is only for a few seconds. In most cases, I dont think about the fact that I'm driving. I can just drive which is a serious relief. I take 1 or 2 tablets a day. Usually in the morning before breakfast or lunch and evening before bed. I also do not feel as anxious as I did before in large crowds. Needless to say I have been able to travel further and function better in public places. Two other positive side effect is that I do not smoke as often as I used to. And my clothes fit better because my appetite has decreased. Although, I did not purchase Gaba for these purposes its great that they work so well in these areas. The only negative side effects I have noticed is that 20 minutes or so after I take a pill I notice a mild itching sensation around my neck and/or maybe a tingling sensation around my head. However, if I'm engaged in an activity I do not notice these effects at all. And they only last for a few moments. I will continue to take Gaba for a long time and I thank God this supplement is available.

Wonderful for those with autism/sensory overload. Take one or up to two every 12 hours and after a few days, you’ll start noticing a BIG difference.

Wasnt a fit for me. Do your research on GABA.

DO NOT miss this opportunity. The best sleep I’ve had in years. I’ve tried a few supplements, but this one stands out. Since taking GABA consistently, I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling actually refreshed, which is rare for me. Dreams are more vivid, but honestly, I think that’s just deeper sleep. It helps me manage stress and unwind after long days without feeling groggy the next morning so this can be used before stressful situations or occasions as well. It’s best to take at night before bed. Of course, everybody reacts differently, but for me, this has become a nightly staple. If you want something to support relaxation and better sleep, it’s worth trying.

There’s been a huge difference in my mood and ease of living life. I’m less anxious and not on edge all day. Works really well.

ストレスの多い環境で過ごしていて眠れず睡眠薬を飲んでいますが、睡眠の質が悪く、知人に勧められて疑念を抱きながらも服用してみたところ、睡眠に感してとても高い効果を感じています。 大量ストックがないと安心できないです。

ممتاز

Would buy again

I take this in the morning upon wakening. I find it very supportive in terms of anxiety reduction but in tandem with daily meditation and physical exercise. Taking a break from it now I can see a difference not having it in my system. It was very effective. To those taking in the evening I'd suggest trying it in the morning instead to see if it works better for you.

Súper !!
